Title: TCP/IP support in MacENC
#10
Just to clarify the "Repeat" serial port works a bit differerent then the TCP/IP server. The "TCP/IP Server" takes the NMEA data input from the three serial ports (GPS, AIS/RADAR and Instruments) and consolidates them into one output NMEA data stream on a single TCP/IP port which is then sent to any connected client. On the other hand, the GPS Panel repeat serial port only repeats what comes in on the GPS Panel serial port. It does not repeat the AIS/RADAR nor Instruments NMEA data from their respective serial ports. So the GPS panel Settings could have the option to "only repeat processed" NMEA data, but then that would limit it to sending out only GPS NMEA data and all other would be filtered out.

"Autopilot Only" limits the "Repeat" serial port to only manufactured NMEA data when a waypoint is active.

If one is feeding NMEA data from GPS, AIS, Instruments all into the GPS Panel serial port via a multiplexer then it is the job of the multiplexer to handle prioritizing the NMEA data. More advanced multiplexers like the Shipmodul 42 series offer filtering and all sorts of options to control the NMEA data input stream. Such devices can be used when connecting multiple NMEA sources.

We offer a Shipmodul Config tool that offers this interfacing flexibility.
